The uniforms have changed, but the dream remains the same.

Former Coupeville High School athletes Nezi Keiper and Ben Smith are competing at the college level this fall, operating in different states and different sports.

Keiper is a freshman defender on the Edmonds College women’s soccer team and brings the same rough-and-tumble playing style to the pitch which endeared her to Wolf fans.

At a recent game against Skagit Valley College, she got to run into Lauren Marrs, a fab frosh goaltender who suits up for SVC.

Marrs was a standout athlete for Coupeville in her younger days, continuing through middle school, before attending Oak Harbor High School from her freshman season on.

Across the country, Smith is a senior linebacker for Concordia University in Chicago.

He’s racked up 10 tackles, including one for a loss, while playing his first season with the Cougars.

Former Wolf ace earns college soccer gig

The Coupeville to college pipeline continues.

Former Wolf star Lauren Marrs, who has played her high school ball in Oak Harbor, is taking her soccer game to the next level.

She’s officially joining the Skagit Valley College booter program, having signed a letter of intent with the Cardinals.

Marrs was an All-Conference goaltender as a senior at OHHS, helping lead the Wildcats back to the state tournament for the first time in two decades.

When she’s not playing soccer, either for her high school or select squad, Taylor’s older sister is also a standout on the basketball court.

The middle of Brian and Emili’s three daughters — big sis Jaden graduated from CHS and was a cheerleader — Lauren began her sports career in Coupeville and is still a frequent visitor at Wolf games.

A graduate of Coupeville Middle School, she has been at Oak Harbor High School since her freshman year.

Skagit Valley College women’s soccer went 12-2-2 this fall, playing two games at the league tourney.

The best soccer goaltender to ever wear a Coupeville uniform is making a final run at pitch glory in Oak Harbor.

Lauren Marrs was a standout multi-sport athlete in Cow Town during her middle school days, then bounced North for high school.

These days she’s a senior at OHHS and anchoring the defense for the Wildcat girls’ soccer squad.

While still popping in to support Coupeville teams on a regular basis, as seen in the top pic.

Marrs is coming off a major win, as Oak Harbor upended Arlington in a penalty kick shootout to kick off the 3A District 1 playoffs.

Saturday she and her team, who sit at 11-5-1 on the season, head to Ferndale to play the Golden Eagles (13-1-2) in another postseason clash.

Win or lose, Marrs and Co. will keep on playing in the double-elimination tourney, as the ‘Cats chase a state berth.

Marrs denies you.

Celebrating a playoff win.

Class act takes her senior bows

She retires a Wildcat but remains part of Wolf Nation.

Lauren Marrs is wrapping up a stellar four-year run as a goaltender on the Oak Harbor High School girls’ soccer team, and Tuesday was Senior Night for the Wildcats.

But while she reps the purple and gold these days, the defensive dynamo will always be remembered for her time in Coupeville.

From soccer to basketball, where she burned up the middle school nets with a steady supply of buckets, Marrs was a standout.

When high school arrived, she opted to move to the institution which gave me a diploma once upon a time and continued to show up and show out.

It was her choice, and while I might cry a bit over what could have been if she had remained a Wolf, good on Lauren for always being a class act.

Regardless of the uniform, Marrs bows out as one of the best Whidbey has produced, and she deserves your cheers.
